According to reports from Andy Payne, chairman of UKIE, Activision have their Leeds studio working on mobile Call of Duty games.
“Activision are like a machine,” said Payne. “I have to be careful what I say about these guys because I know them so well and they’ll cane me.
“They’re very good, and you know what, what people don’t realise with Activision is, the two studios working on the Call of Duty franchise are collaborative studios. That’s unheard of. All the assets are reusable, so they’re not wasting time.
“The two studios are saying, ‘I need a tank, pull it off from the library’. And those assets are also going to be starting to be used by the mobile team, which is going to be based in Leeds.”
The Leeds studio was established in November 2011, although their projects were secret until, well, now. It’s not known whether Vita title Declassified is one of Leeds’ games.

So Vita game will probably be a port of some ipad fPS but 10 times higher price…

Well that sucks! This could’ve been such a great opportunity for CoD on PS Vita, rather than a port, but I’m keeping my hopes up. ;)

I’m not a fan of mobile gaming, for me, gaming will always be about consoles. A TV, a controller, a disc and a console. All you need.

Sorry, i missed the ‘F-man’ signal in the air. If i had have seen it, i would have jumped in the ‘F-mobile’ & been here in a flash. :)
Modern Wifi also kinda works.

is it not typical? Western developers care less of handhelds so its no wonder they’ll do this shit.
